During the first season on her own, an encounter with sports figure Mike Talbot literally starts off on the wrong foot. One misstep leads to another and tragedy follows. Where to turn?

Try as she might, Jo can't forget - but the real problem lies in the remembering. A strong woman, Jo is determined to fight her way through the miasma of pain and guilt threatening to keep her from finding her promised tomorrow.

Three white sisters return to their Caribbean island home to find their family living in poverty and mental anguish. Each sister responds to the family's plight in different ways - seeking change through romance or politics or money. Intenselyautobiographical, The Orchid House describes a colonial society in decay as seen through the (usually) loyal eyes of the sisters' childhood nurse, Lally: "Beauty and disease, beauty and sickness, beauty and horror: that was the island."First published in 1953, it was republished in 1982 as a Virago Modern Classic. It was later filmed by Channel 4 for a four-part series (1991) with Diana Quick, Frances Barber and Elizabeth Hurley (available as a DVD).This edition has a new and incisive introduction by the Dominican scholar Schuyler Esprit, which casts a fresh and contemporary eye on Allfrey's life and work.
